FerrisChat

Chat in a 2D virtual space where every client is represented with a crab.

Overview:

Heavily based on early roguelike development (See Resources below).
Map and entities on map are autogenerated.
Server uses ECS (specs) to store and process the entities in the world.
Clients are written with Rust wasm (stdweb) and connect to server with small Javascript shim.
Server serializes the ECS via serde then sends it to clients using WebSockets (tungstenite).
Clients send their input back to the server for their updates to be broadcast out to other clients.
